Instructions
- Prepare the Souffle Dishes: Have four 6 oz souffle dishes on hand.
- Puree the Banana: Puree the banana in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, dark rum, and pure vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
- Strain the Mixture: Pour the mixture through a fine strainer to ensure a smooth consistency, free of any lumps.
- Fill Souffle Dishes: Transfer the strained mixture into the souffle dishes, filling each dish evenly. Cover each dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Prepare the Pressure Cooker: Add 2 cups of water to the bottom of the pressure cooker. Insert the steamer basket and place the covered souffle dishes inside. Ensure the water does not touch the souffle dishes; if necessary, add a trivet to keep the dishes elevated.
- Cook the Pudding: Close the pressure cooker and bring it up to pressure. Once at pressure, reduce the heat to a very low setting to stabilize the pressure and cook for 12 minutes.
- Release Pressure: Immediately release the pressure from the cooker and carefully remove the souffle dishes.
- Uncover and Cool: Uncover the souffle dishes immediately. If you plan to store the pudding in the refrigerator, allow them to cool, uncovered, to lukewarm temperature. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Tips and Tricks
- Banana Selection: Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. Overripe bananas with brown spots are ideal for this recipe.
- Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet pudding, you can reduce the amount of sugar or sweetened condensed milk to suit your taste.
- Alcohol-Free Option: For a non-alcoholic version, you can omit the dark rum or replace it with a teaspoon of rum extract.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the pudding warm or chilled. You can top it with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or fresh banana slices for added flavor and presentation.
